Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.
Harshal Deshmukh - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple tool to use, good dashboard capabilities and offers asset criticality ratings
It has good dashboard capabilities and gives good results with priority ratings, asset criticality ratings, and exposure scores for vulnerabilities. It also provides automated web application scanning, which customers appreciate because it doesn't disturb the web application or hamper the business. While testing the web application, sometimes it happens that the website or application goes down. But with Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it doesn't affect the business. It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It is fully automated."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning provides a detailed report, identifying functions that are complex and need to be more maintainable and readable."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control"
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The report customization needs to be better."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"It's an expensive product"
"Its price is moderate."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"For Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it comes to around 6,50,000 Indian rupees, plus taxes."
"I rate the product's pricing a four out of ten."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the competitors. The license cost is based on the number of users and the annual usage."
"The pricing is okay."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is expensive for small businesses."
"The application is extremely affordable. There are no additional costs involved with licensing. We switched to Tenable.io Web Application Scanning from other solutions due to pricing."
"It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."
